Inside the integration

What the Kadence integration does

New in v3.9.0. Kadence pairs a fast, block-first theme with its own Kadence Blocks plugin, 32 blocks plus a 350+ pattern Design Library. EMCP adds the same two-dispatcher layer used for Astra: read and write Kadence's theme_mod settings (palette, typography, layout, buttons, header/footer) over a curated allowlist, and discover, inspect, and insert Kadence Blocks with their real, live-registry attributes.

The Design Library pack goes further than a block catalog: list-patterns and insert-pattern drop in Kadence's own professionally-designed, palette-matched sections, editor-valid markup, not a guess at Kadence's block structure. Prefer a pattern over hand-building a whole section when one fits.

Get connected

Set up the Kadence MCP integration

Use the same EMCP connection as the rest of your WordPress site. No separate data sync or integration account is required.

  1. 1
    Install and connect EMCP

    Install EMCP on WordPress, then connect Claude, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible client.

  2. 2
    Meet the plugin requirement

    Before asking your AI to use this integration, make sure this requirement is met: Kadence theme and/or Kadence Blocks active.

  3. 3
    Review access and start with a read

    Check the enabled tools, read the current state first, and enable write access only when the workflow needs it.

Frequently asked

Do I need both the Kadence theme and Kadence Blocks plugin?

No. The theme-settings tools (kadence-read/kadence-write) register only when Kadence is the active theme; the blocks tools (kadence-blocks-read/kadence-blocks-write) register only when the Kadence Blocks plugin is active, independent of the active theme.

Is this free?

Yes, the whole Kadence integration (theme settings, blocks, and Design Library patterns) is part of the free EMCP plugin.
